Charity registration number: 1159635
Objectives and Activities
| SORP reference | ||
|---|---|---|
| Summary of the purposes of the charity as set out in its governing document |
Para 1.17 | (1) The relief of sickness and preservation of health of people suffering from Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES), in particular but not exclusively by the provision of support to families affected by this condition within the UK. (2) The advancement of education for the public benefit by raising awareness of FPIES within the UK and providing up to date information and recommendations on the management of FPIES for patients and healthcare professionals. |
| Summary of the main activities in relation to those purposes for the public benefit, in particular, the activities, projects or services identified in the accounts. |
Para 1.17 and 1.19 |
We have continued to provide support for families of children with FPIES, through hosting our website and direct enquires to the charity. We have attended two conferences during this period in order to raise awareness about FPIES amongst healthcare professionals. At one of these, the Paediatric Food Allergy Symposium hosted by Nutricia, one of our Trustees gave a talk on ‘FPIES – a parent view’ alongside a talk by a paediatric allergy consultant about FPIES. We hope that this helped to raise awareness about FPIES, and also to highlight the difficulties faced by families and the unmet needs. We also spoke to a number of healthcare professionals and distributed information sheets. |
| Statement confirming whether the trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit |
Para 1.18 | In planning our activities for the year, we kept in mind the charity commissions’ guidance on public benefit. |

Para 1.20 | Through attendance at conferences, we have been able to raise awareness about FPIES amongst healthcare professionals. We know, from the support that we provide, that lack of awareness of FPIES makes it more difficult for families to get a timely diagnosis and access appropriate clinical care. Our website continues to be a valued source of information for families dealing with FPIES. |
